No Promises (Icehouse song)

"No Promises" is a song by Australian band Icehouse, released in October 1985,[1] as the first single issued from the band's 1986 album, Measure for Measure.

Chrysalis Records issued the single in the UK and Europe on 7" and 12" formats, with different track listings.

"No Promises" was subsequently released in the US by Chrysalis on 7" and 12" formats, again with different track listings.

[4] Two music videos were filmed to promote the single; the second of these was directed by Dieter Trattmann.

Neil Peart of Rush has claimed in his memoirs "Roadshow – Landscape With Drums: a Concert Tour by Motorcycle" that "No Promises" was his favorite song during August of 1986:[12] One week in August of '86, I went down to Newport with a group of friends from Toronto (the parking tag from Newport Yacht Club still hangs in my garage, and my favorite song at the time was "No Promises," by an Australian band called Icehouse-I remember playing it again and again as I drove my Porsche 911 convertible through the White Mountains of New Hampshire).
